#SaintsFC unlucky to be behind, though the home side have been quite impressive – there have been some excellent saves by goalkeeper Roth.

 

Sign him up!

[trousers]

@TomCoull: Guly has been fantastic, Puncheon too. I'd say we're almost playing a 4-1-4-1, the 4 midfielders joining the attack at will. #saintsfc

With a quote like that, you'd just know that we'd be 1-0 down!

Nine half-time substitutions for #SaintsFC. Second half team as follows...

[doubleonothing]

#SaintsFC second-half XI: Forecast; Richardson, Stephens, Seaborne, Harding; Ward-Prowse, Hammond, Chambers; Puncheon, Shaw; Sharp.

[Saint Garrett]

Chaplow the only one to stay on the bench...he must feel like ****.

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

One half-time change for Étoile: Baumgartner on for Pedretti.

 

2nd half starting now

[dronskisaint]

Chaplow the only one to stay on the bench...he must feel like ****.

 

Gearing up for his supersub sub role

[ottery st mary]

Chappers took a knock Saturday// and had xray ...so poss precaution?

GOAL! Étoile Carouge 1-1 Saints (Shaw 54)

[Um Bongo]

officialsaints: #SaintsFC back on level terms as Chambers and Shaw combine for the latter to curl inside the far post with his right foot. Great strike.

How happy did Shaw look when he scored? Unless he did a windmill celebration and high fived every single member of the squad and coaching staff, then it definitely means he's off to Chelsea.

GOAL! Étoile Carouge 1-1 Saints (Shaw 54)

 

Not even sure why he is playing, his heart isn't in it and he doesnt look committed...BLAH BLAH BLAH....

 

Chuffed for the lad to get his first goal.

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

Étoile respond by making a triple change: Pasquier, Soares and Pomevor on for Pauchard, Valente and Ajdini.

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

Two more Étoile subs: Roch and Bajrami on for Delley and Besnard.

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

Big opportunity for #SaintsFC to go in front as Chambers' sliced effort falls perfectly for Sharp, but he is denied by another Roth save.

[Saint Garrett]

Roth CDAJFU?

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

Final #SaintsFC change: Chaplow on for Puncheon midway through the second period.

[Saint Garrett]

GOAL! Étoile Carouge 1-2 Saints (Sharp 70)

This time Sharp makes no mistake as he meets Ward-Prowse's low free-kick and sweeps the ball below Roth. #SaintsFC lead with 20 minutes left

[trousers]

Ward-Prowse to start vs Man City please Mr Adkins

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

Étoile substitute Soares works space in the #SaintsFC half but his eventual shot goes well over Forecast's crossbar.

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

GOAL! Étoile Carouge 1-3 Saints (Sharp 76)

[beavis17]

So at the moment Forecast is on course for a clean sheet...

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

#SaintsFC seize possession in midfield through Ward-Prowse, and the ball makes its way to Sharp via Chaplow with the striker finishing well.

[krissyboy31]

Ward-Prowse to start vs Man City please Mr Adkins

 

Doing himself no harm atm.

[Viking Warrior]

Things are not that bad Alps has not moaned . Maybe he's attending the game

JWP seems to be having a cracking pre season so far!

[krissyboy31]

So at the moment Forecast is on course for a clean sheet...

Is he still tied to the goalpost?

[Viking Saint]

Is he still tied to the goalpost?

 

hopefully, in chains, that can never be broken, and he will be left there when the rest of the squad return home.......

[Under Weststand]

Just logged on sounds like the youngsters are performing well tonight, good to see.

GOAL! Étoile Carouge 1-4 Saints (Sharp 82, hat-trick)

[bowers-sfc]

sharp hat-trick!!!!

[Gingeletiss]

Sharp hatrick..........

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

An excellently-taken third for Sharp as he latches onto Chambers' chipped ball and converts confidently past Roth for #SaintsFC's fourth.

[James]

Sounds like Chambers has had a hand in everything going forward. Maybe why we aren't chasing a right winger?

[Viking Saint]

great stuff from Sharp....going to be some seriously healthy competition for places up front this season....lovin' it!!!!

[Saint-Armstrong]

Oooh.

 

Sharp - 3

Rodriguez - 1

Lambert - 0

Guly - 0

Lee - 0 (but injured)

Barnard - 0

Forte - 0

[hutch]

FULL TIME: Étoile Carouge 1-4 Saints #saintsfc

[ottery st mary]

The emergence of Chambers, Ward-Prowse, Shaw, Stephens and ottery has been very encouraging:D

The potential was there to see last season in the development/reserves/youth games but these lads are definitely stepping up to the plate:)

 

Well done Saints..

[doubleonothing]

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

 

An excellent second-half comeback helps #SaintsFC to a 4-1 win. Report and interviews to come on http://www.saintsfc.co.uk and Saints Player.

[Saint Fan CaM]

At this rate I can see Sharp and JayRod up front together and Lambo on the bench! (;

Ottery

has been the stand out performer for me. Very solid and with that little bit of flair in the way he places those smileys, definitely a big career ahead of him.

[Viking Saint]

very encouraging.....great to see the youngsters given the opportunity, sounds like they didn't let us down.....good start.....what kit were we in tonight btw???

COYR!!!!

[Matthew Le God]

what kit were we in tonight???

 

[ottery st mary]

My guess is Red..

 

Anyone else going to have a go..

 

Honest Guv I have not looked at the film:p
